Ratatouille is good

Go see it.

Studio 60

The last episode of Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip airs tomorrow. I’m a little irritated that it’s ending on a four part “to be continued” series, but that’s ok.

For my wife

Dramatic cow. Like dramatic chipmunk, but bovine.

Paul McCartney interview with The A.V. Club

Paul McCartney is still fantastic.

AVC: When one of your songs comes on the radio, what do you do? Sing along? Turn it off?

PM: I listen. It’s just a great feeling, man. I mean, it’s like you’re a kid again. In fact, it happened just the other day. I was in London, and “Dance Tonight,” the lead track of the new album, came on, and I rolled down the windows and almost started shouting at this lady, “Hey! That’s me! On the radio!” I resisted, but I wanted to. I thought she might think I was being a bit stupid. But I very nearly did it. That’s still the feeling I get.

No entries today (besides this one, of course). I went over to the parents’ place and hung some blinds.

World’s Ugliest Dog

Saw this on CNN.com. Ouch.

Best and worst ISPs

PCWorld has an article that rates the best and worst ISPs according to survey data. Charter, my ISP, is the worst on the chart. At least BellSouth is average.

Twitter

I still just don’t see the point of Twitter. I don’t want to tell people every little thing I do in my day. Maybe if all of my friends were doing it too. Maybe.

Ratatouille

Ratatouille is rating 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s a good sign.

Steampunk Star Wars

Marcel Mercado has some pretty cool drawings of Star Wars characters re-imagined in a steampunk world. Nice C3PO and R2D2.

ISS and Shuttle fly-over times

NASA has a site that lets you look up when the International Space Station will fly over your town. Very cool.
